Question
Question 1 What was Charles Darwin's approach to scientific study? O Darwin followed the scientific method that was well established in his time. This method was termed determinism and described all natural events as based on physical laws. O Darwin was strictly an observer of natural history. O Darwin kept a careful diary of his travels and experiments but never interpreted any of the results. Darwin was similar to many other scientists of his era in that he speculated on many theoretical ideas inherent in the Victorian philosophy of science. Many of these theoretical ideas were not supported by observation or experimentation. O Darwin was an excellent observer, formed hypotheses from his observations and experimented to support his hypotheses. Darwin also was a theoretical scientist who speculated on challenging problems in natural history.
